My dad and I squeeze through the electric crowds on the way to the oval, it is difficult not to smile with…

First off, I thought it was interesting that Jonathan Harker couldn’t locate the exact location of Count Dracula’s castle on any of the maps that he viewed. This set the mood of the novel for me. I think the author, Bram Stoker, put in little hints of “horror” to set the tone for the rest of the novel.

but I thought it was awkward that the horses didn’t do anything like they usually do. Later that night I was up doing one of your last labs and I heard the coyotes outside. It did kind of scare me since it’s been awhile since I heard one of them howling like that. I felt that it’s mating season for the coyotes because I only hear that type of howl like once or twice a year. There’s another forest behind us where our different neighbor owns, the forest is quite dense enough for deer’s, coyotes,…

Indeed, if we go for very long at all without water, that part of the forebrain known as the hypothalamus triggers the thirst response,…

thought I would ever though these four phrase would relate with each other, but they did, and these four phrases are: boy scout, screaming, raccoons and candy wraps. The night began one late, silent night, where I could hear nothing but an owl howling from the distance, and I was just about to end the day with a good night’s sleep.
